Canon EOS R in London
London with the Canon EOS R
I took a long walk around Central London in the summer with the Canon EOS and tested the mic, took pictures and videos. I believe the EOS R is the Perfect Upgrade from the Canon 7D Mark II.
Cinematic graded
Gear: Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens, no tripod, digital stabiliser
It is an enigma wrapped in a riddle.
Before buying the EOS R I went through the usual stages of comparing the specs with other Canon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. There are reviews out there hailing the camera is the best thing since sliced bread. Other reviewers point out its flaws and claim that it could not even compare to Sony’s A7iii.
It is a give and take relationship with this camera. Meaning that you give £3,000 only for Canon to take away features that would make the camera complete. For one, it is a full-frame camera that turns into a crop sensor when shooting in 4k. It shoots in 60fps but only in 1080p. Why! Why would Canon do this to us?
You cannot always trust your first impressions.
With the EOS R do not judge the book by its cover or what is written in it. I was just as confused you probably are right now but let me explain. To my surprise, the picture quality from the EOS R is better than Sony’s A7iii. The colours are fuller on the EOS R, it gives you those unrivaled Canon colours. There is no other way to describe it than to say the pictures and videos captured on the Canon are just more beautiful.
In my humble opinion, the reason that we all buy a camera is to capture the most beautiful moving and still shots. The Canon EOS R does just that.

Ringke Review - Multicard Holder and Phone Case
Ringke Multi Card Holder Magnetic Phone Wallet Review
Here is my review for the Ringke Multi-Card Holder. It’s very helpful for day to day use, around the house and in the car.
As someone with small hands, the Ringke Multicard Holder is crucial. It is not just an accessory but a necessity. I can bearly get the full use of my phone with it. Call it a magnetic phone wallet, a magnetic phone card or a magnetic phone stand. To be honest it does not matter because the Ringke Multi-Card Holder does it all.
The magnetic wallet is such a great help. It allows me to comfortably use my phone as a satnav in the car but also lets me stand up my phone if I am around the house.
The only negative aspect that I would like to point out is that I do not use this wallet part of the Ringke Multi-Card Holder. The wallet is magnetic so it would be unadviceable to use your magnetic key cards on it.
So that means even your Oyster card should not be kept in the wallet because it would render it useless.

UMTELE Phone Telephoto Camera Lens Kit Review
There are a number of videos online reviewing this product so let us try to look at them through a different lens (pun intended).
The product is advertised as a telephoto lens it really should be an smartphone lens and accessory kit.
Lens Clips
The telephoto lens kit comes with two clips for attaching the lenses to your phone; I would advise you to always use the smaller lens because the bigger lens needs to be adjusted and creates extra hassle.
Lenses
180° Fisheye Lens
To use the 180° fisheye lens change your camera option to square.
Wide Angle Lens & Macro Lens
I used the wide angle and macro lens together. The wide angle lens does what it says on the tin and provides a fuller frame as you can see in the video above.
Telephoto Lens
The telephoto lens does give you about 12 times the zoom of the normal phone lens. the lens is hard to place of the phone camera and you make have to adjust the clip accordingly.
Unfortunately the lenses cause the image to lose some of its colour and clarity so the lenses are not perfect but they work well for the price.
Remote Shutter and Tripod
I was pleasantly surprised by the remote shutter and the tripod.
I believe the tripod is particularly useful – it is not the most sturdy tripod in the world so you get what you pay for nevertheless it is extremely useful for taking live pictures. It also works well for Facetime, just set up the phone and tripod and you can freely move around.
The remote shutter could be sold as its own product. It is like the next level to taking selfies. The combination of the tripod and remote shutter is perfect for group photos.
The UMTELE phone camera lens kit is a great holiday accessory; no longer does someone have to stand poolside while taking a picture of everyone else.
Umtele Travel Plug Adapter and USB Charger - Reliable Review
The ever-increasing personal portable gadget market means that most people will travel with least two or three devices that need to be charged using a USB port. It is what makes the UMTELE travel plugs like this an essential for going on holiday.
UMTELE Travel Plug - The Basics
The UMTELE travel plug acts as a basic adapter for normal plugs but you can also use this to charge your toothbrush or shaver so it saves you money and space in your traveling bag.
You do not need to buy extra adapters for each plug that you have.
Features
The travel adapter has four types of prongs that fit various electrical outlets all over the world in one plug – the prongs are all within the adapter so you do not have worry about carrying extra part. The plug also has a mechanism that stops the prongs from coming out at the same time so it stops any accidental damages.
It also has four UBS charging ports so for me that is my Bluetooth earphone, Fitbit, iPhone and iPad. It uses a 6A fuse and comes with a spare fuse. The coating around the plug means that it does not gather dust.The UMTELE travel plug is more than a useful holiday accessory that becomes useless when you return home. Another benefit is that no longer do guests need to queue up for charging ports.
With this travel plug, essentially, I have set multiple USB charger units around the house – just bring your cable is my motto now.
Links
You can by this plug on amazon or directly through the UMTELE website.

iPhone and Samsung Waterproof Phone Case - Money Well Spent
I took the Mpow waterproof phone case on holiday, and my friends gave it a standing ovation on the plane back.
The Mpow waterproof phone case is likely the best product under £10 on Amazon.
I was slightly reluctant to put my iPhone in a plastic waterproof phone case that costs £5.99, but I threw caution to the wind, and I was not disappointed.
Mpow recommends a quality assurance test before using the waterproof phone case.
Insert tissue into the case and submerge underwater for 30 minutes. Remove the tissue from the case and ensure that it is completely dry.
If it is dry, then you are good to go – swim your heart out.
It can hold the iPhone 6s, and there are larger versions available for the more obnoxiously sized smartphones.
The quality of the case is genuinely surprising. It does not hinder the touchscreen functionality of your phone, and the photos and videos are surprisingly clear.
Not only did it allow me to film and swim, but it also protected my phone against the desert sand.
I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

I-Blason Review - Armorbox for IPhone & IPad Supcase
Here is an I-Blason review on the I-Blason Armorbox for iPhone & IPad Supcase after a few months of use.
The video should give you a general insight to I-blason products. The cases generally have the same build apart from a few changes so you should be able to judge and apply what you see here to the newer iPhone and iPad cases.
I filmed the I-Blason review 3 years ago and I am still using the cases today. It is so easy to do an I-Blason review because the product speaks for itself. The durability is second to none and it will last you a lifetime if your take care of it properly.
The I-Blason cases have seen me through many phones and tablets and I only regret that they do not provide cases for the Google Pixel One XL that I currently own.
